Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity generated a small overall surplus of £12,483 for the year, driven by increased admissions and commercial income. However, the Trustees note that continued solvent operation beyond the twelve-month period will require an increase in commercial revenues and fundraising support. Free unrestricted reserves of £226,531 fall slightly short of the stated policy target of approximately £250,000.
